- $423,110 spent. In 2025 we rescued 18 animals including our first cow giving us 110 rescued animal residents. We had 50 monthly volunteers who worked 5,376 hours. Our team received 221 hours of formal training, not including the everday barn/animal care modules available to all volunteers. We also implemented an Animal Enrichment Manual which included training sessions and Horse Handling Instructions. Continually raising the bar, our leadership saw a need, and we now offer Grief Counseling & Mental Health Support for both staff and volunteers. Our Infrastructure improvements included: Barn insulation, motions sensor lighting, additional enclosure fencing and a run-in shelter. We are in the process of obtaining our GFAS certification and laid the groundwork for new programs in 2026 including STAI Forever Program (Solutions to Avoid Intake) & Foreverlanding Adoption & Placement Program.
- We enhanced our boards expertise by adding a veterinarian, attorneys, and a media expert. Our reach/engagement increased exponentially with over 700k followers across social media platforms. We held successful Pride and Halloween events with record attendance. Foreverland Farm was featured on TV and radio, with segments on Channel 12 nes, Cincy Lifestyle, and Kiss 107.
